Daciana Viorica Brezeanu was a Romanian ballet dancer and gymnast who died from self inflicted wounds to the stomach and chest. She was said to have suffered from delusions that were religious in nature.
"She was always quoting scripture to ward off evil spirits – sometimes screaming at the top of her lungs. Soon after she quit the sports she so dearly loved, it all happened, " said her mother the night after her death. The police discovered several hundred animal bones beneath her bed in cardboard boxes. In one of the boxes was a letter written by Daciana and adressed to God, that stated "The demon has entered me. there is nothing to do now but give in to death." She was 19 years old.
The photo was taken Halloween day,1996 – about one year before her death.
